By a strictly sectional vote, that portion of thdbill was struck out, which allows foreigners, having filed their prelimi nary dechfrations to become citizens of the United States, the privilege of voting and hold ing officn.. In all the other new territories, similar'provisions to. that stricken out of the Nebraska bill have always existed, and the exclusionof foreigners from such privileges in Nebraska shows how studied on the part of the South is the design to keep the thrifty Ger mans and other classes of ... Immigrants from settling in this new territory. With this' sec tional aspect, and with this direct legisbitiOn against foreign emigrants, the bill cannot be rushed through the House with the speed its friends may desire. REPREfIENTAMES PROM NEBRAEOZA.-A imbiber of Indian chiefs from Nebraska have arrived at Washington. in charge of Dialer Gatewood. They are said to bo tell, good looking Indians, of light complexion, and re spectably dressed, according to the red man's idea, some .wearing red, some blue, and other colored blankets, heavy ear bobs, head dress es, necklaces of the claws of the grizzly.bear, and. such like adornments. • Like some of our wh'de ladies, they also • use paint. Their visit to Washington is at. the instance of the gov• ernment to see about the sale of their landa to the *Red States, which, when the tribes were firat:Zdnited in Nebraska by the Gotomissioner last, summer, they, were averse to doing. It may be that they will ho able to give Congress 'Santo light upon the "Nebraska Gaestion," which is exciting so much debate. Among the Indians west of Missouri and lowa arq to be found some educated men, and others who are able by the cultivation of the soit:to subSist themselves. Amongthem,-too, are seine pro , feesors of religion.

Time does not seem to abate the rage for fancy chickens, end we understand that prices are nearly if net quite as high as they were two years ago. The pur chasers are chiefly farmers, who see that the raising of the superior imported chickerui real ly costs no more than those of an inferior class, and nro therefore rapidly procuring them. We have nanny fine lots of chickens in Carlisle. Mr/ 'E. Biddle, jr., adtiertiseti number of the best imported kinds, which put , chasers may buy in entire confidence. Mr. George W. Hilton has also a large number of Shanghais, whose enormous size , and fine ap pearance attest their superiority. Those who are desirous of purchasing should take a look at them, ° • -Prices of liors L ert-y The prices paid for stock, pa - Fticularly Hor ses, at the public sales which have been recent ly held throughout the country, are represent. ed as large beyond all precedent. At WI imer's sale in North Middleton township, two weeks since, we -understand a'draught horse sold for the enormous price of $284 ! At anrther sale a yearling colt sold for $6O, and at another sale a two year old colt so'd fur $l2O. Other stock also sells high, When the number of thee see.

Had Arrangement We must protest against the present ar rangement of trains. on the railroad, by which at least four days in the week we fail to receive the afternoon mail from Philadcl. phia. The fault lies in the non-arvisnl•of the Philadelphia train at Iferrisburg of die strict schedule time, but as this in not likely soon to bo remedied, it would bo, a great advantage to our community if there was a longer detention of the Cumberland Valley cars at Harrisburg so as to secure the mail. In the-existing state of things 'our sufferings is intolerable.' as it r. Van Buren once remarked. . • Mr. Hill's Second Concert Mr. GEO.

'Tito latest n' ecounte are .that Prince Carts chaltuff had inirrounded Kalefat, witli nn armY , of eixty 'thousand Russians:and had positive torders to captnre it _from the Turks. —A bloody - Aottle was anticipated. Prepariltions for war are going on night and day, in France and England. The military force for the assistance of Turkey, it is now ,contidently assailed, will be 40,000 French and 10,000- English troops. England will send' 10,000 more, if necessary. The squadron will' consist of thirty sail vessels—to lie ode twen ty screw stßuners, three piddle wheel inettin ors and seven sailing vessels— making a total of 2,00 Q guns. The fleet without reckoning the equadron of Admiral Corry. wad be the most powerful ever fitted out by Great Britain. in the itoyul Dock Yards, the formation and equipment of the fleets proceeds with great rapidity, It 'is as ,yet undecided whether the troops will be sent from Liverpool direct to Malts, or from Cork. The London Globe says that Lord Raglan, Would probably have the chief oem mand of the land forces. From all accounts it appears that it was de termined by the Russians to, make. a decisive blow. Prince Gortechailoff, "had•receivett pos itive orders froin the Emperor, to use every effort to dries the Turks out of .Lesser Walla chia, without further lo,s of time. Id Asia, Kueschid Pasha boil reorganized the Turkish forces and was shout to resume defensive operations with 30,000 infantry, b,- 000 - cavalry and 140 guns. Telegraphic, advices from Bucharest to the let ult., state that 65,000 Russian troops were befere — Kalaftit;the ughteliii - O — Gt - Wisaliak - eff knew that the-Turkish position could not be carried without great loss of life. It was stated that the negetiationsfor.paace •behveen Ttiissia and Turkey had been reopen ed. . At the same time, England and France con tinued to mace extraordinary preparations for war. The report that the Emperor of AUstria had declaredthat he would make common cause with the Western powers, if the Russian cross• ed the Danube, had produoed quite a sensation in political circles, and caused an important rise in the funds at Paris. Groat excitement prevailed in Lombardy and throughout 'all It aly. Rndetski had issued a proclamation or dering the arrest of all persons spreading false reports.

It is stated 'that the Government, in addition to the steamers already taken, had decided to take the remain der of the Cunard-steamers as fast as they ar rive, leaving the company to carry the mails in their smaller steamers Many of the Bast India sailing ships had also been taken by the Admiralty for the pur pose of carrying, stores,. troops,. etc. 'At all the naval Stations. the preparations going ou are on the most stupendous scale. The Baltic fleet is to , consist of thirty-six ships, chiefly ships of t h e line , and'powerful screw frigates, and was to assemble in the Downs on the oth of March, where it would be joined by' ten Preach vessels of from GO to 120 guns each. Tile whole fleet is under the com mand of Sir Charles Napier, and is intended for operations against St. Petersburg. -- The steamer Ilecla has already left for the Baltic, to make surveys and soundings. Rumors of peace aro mill in circulation.— The Paris correspondent of the London Tittles says that fresh negotiations aro on rout, and hopes arc generally entertained that they would be successful. the propositions are said to bo adopted by the four powers, which make a conceiision - to the pznr, viz: the liberty of treating to a certain extent alone with Turkey, the hitter power to have the right of consulta tion with allied powers. 'lt is also proposed, that the evacuation of the paincipalities shall take place simultaneously With that of the Black Sea,, end the allied fleets to re-enter the Bospherms when the Russian troops cross the river Truth.

The Great Britain steamship, from Austra lia, brought over 164,0110 ounces 01, gold. The correspondent of the London Times states that the Russian , troops in Wallachia are committing . the moot dreadful excesses upon the peasants, who had refused to submit to the burderis imposed upon them. The women and children of three villages are reported to have been massacred. The autograph letter of the Eiuperor Napo_. leon to the Czar, proposes a treaty of poaco on the basis of the Vienna note modified by Tur key, and that the negotiations should take place direst between the Rust fan and Turkish Plenipotentiaries. The French squadron under Admiral Brunt, was to take on board 12,000 troops and pro, coed to Toulon toloin the English squadron. There 40,000 more• troops will be taken on , board, when both squadrons will sail for the Levant.. Nothing now has been-received from EaWet.
